Mohbad’s Family Rejects Autopsy Report, Wants Independent Test
The relatives of the late artist, Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, have rejected the autopsy results conducted by the Lagos state authorities. They are requesting an independent toxicology test to determine the true cause of his death.
During a press briefing in Lagos on Monday, June 17, the family’s lawyer, Wahab Shittu, highlighted inconsistencies in the autopsy report presented to the Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu by Prof. Sunday Soyemi, a Forensic Scientist and Pathologist from Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH). The family believes these discrepancies warrant further investigation by independent medical experts.
The family criticized the current inconclusive results for exacerbating their distress and demanded a fair and thorough examination. They have formally appealed to the Coroner’s Court to permit an independent autopsy and toxicology analysis, emphasizing the need for clarity and justice.
“We urge the presiding magistrate to expedite the hearing of our request for an independent autopsy and toxicology report. This is crucial for justice to be served,” the family stated.
Mohbad, aged 27, passed away on September 12, 2023, under suspicious circumstances, prompting the police to exhum his body and perform an autopsy on September 21.
On May 16, Prof. Soyemi informed the Coroner’s Inquest that the autopsy conducted on Mohbad was inconclusive due to factors such as body decomposition and possible medication effects.
